Summary

The head and foot ofPelmatohydra oligactis function in regeneration as unipotent systems. The exact extent of the unipotent tissue immediately posterior to the tentacles and anterior to the foot is not determined in these experiments. The intermediate tissue is pluripotent.

The potentiality for head formation is stronger at the oral end and decreases towards the aboral end as the potentiality for foot formation increases.

In these grafting experiments the stock has no influence over the graft which retains its individuality.
